Hey, I was just reading some threads and just got to wondering. You know I've read alot few threads that on some shows on dvd they either released syndicated version of some shows or have to replace music because they didn't want to pay the high cost of restoring the original.

Well say for instences the studios just decided to ignore the music artists and the right holder for some shows and not paid the high costs of restoring them and just released the shows in their intirity just to make the fans happy?

Like for instence the first season of Mama's Family was released with syndicated prints because they didn't own the right to the original uncut versions. Say for instence they just decided to ignore the original right holder to the show and release the original uncut version anyway? Also, what if they just release all shows with their original music intact and didn't pay the high costs?

mostly likely the rights holders would file a cease-and-desist injunction and sue the studios for ridiculous sums of money - just like what is happening to Sony right now over Alejandro Fernandez' music they stole from him, he's suing for 120 million dollars...
